Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network, the method comprising: generating restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from stations associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and transmitting the RAW parameters to the at least one station.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein: the information on the first RAW further includes information on at least one channel in which the at least one station is allowed to transmit for a duration of the first RAW.
3. A method for a station in a wireless local area network, the method comprising: receiving restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from the station associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and performing channel access based on the RAW parameters.
4. An access point (AP) apparatus in a wireless local area network, the AP apparatus comprising: a controller; and a communication unit, wherein the controller is configured to: generate restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from stations associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and transmit, using the communication unit, the RAW parameters to the at least one station.
5. A station apparatus in a wireless local area network, the station apparatus comprising: a controller; and a communication unit, wherein the controller is configured to: receive, using the communication unit, restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from the station associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and perform channel access based on the RAW parameters.
